1 HE bill in this Genus is long, and straight, the end either hooked, 

 or sloping. 



Nostrils in a furrow, running along the sides of the bill, and in 

 most of the species scarcely distinguishable. 



Face, for the most part, destitute of feathers, being covered only 

 with a bare skin. 



Gullet naked, in some capable of great distention. 



Toes four in number, all webbed together. 



We cannot but notice here the seemingly different characters of 

 the various birds enumerated under this head, by some thought 

 sufficient to justify the separating them into three or more Genera;* 

 and to avoid this we have adopted the division of them into families,
